Keening

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.
